Without Conscience

Without Conscience - Robert D. Hare

This book examines psychopathy from several angles, starting with the problem itself and the challenge of recognizing it in lived experience. Robert D. Hare moves from the emotional and relational profile of the psychopath to lifestyle patterns, missing internal controls, and the link between psychopathy and crime.

Profile: feelings, relationships, lifestyle

The structure of the book separates two core areas of the profile: feelings and relationships, then lifestyle. That division keeps the focus on how psychopathy appears both in personal contact and in everyday patterns of behavior.

Crime and the white-collar context

Hare also looks at crime as a logical choice and extends the discussion beyond violent offenders to white-collar psychopaths. Chapters such as “Words from an Overcoat Pocket” and “Flies in the Web” suggest close attention to manipulation, language, and the settings in which harm can remain less visible.

Roots, labeling, and survival

The later chapters turn to the roots of the problem, the ethics of labeling, and the question of whether anything can be done. The inclusion of a survival guide gives the book a practical dimension, placing understanding alongside caution.
